New Thunderbolts #8 (2005)

After a quick battle with Batroc’s brigade…

…Speed Demon’s old partner in crime Shocker invites him on a heist.  Surprisingly, Speed Demon accepts, but only because the new team needs money…

But first he fights Blizzard, who wants to stop Speed Demon from returning to a life of crime.

Nice.  Of COURSE a team like this would be influenced by their past relationships and behavior.  Well done.

After Speed Demon pummels him, he leaves Blizzard naked dangling from a bridge.

Not sure why he had to be naked.

Anyway, it turns out Speed Demon really did just want to support the team–so he wasn’t completely bad.

On the final pages, Namor punches Radioactive Man through a wall and demands justice.
